Bio
("Good-time Appalachian rock/soul boogaloo!")
THE GREENS are one of the best bands you've never heard of. Hopefully, that will soon change! West Virginia, which is unfortunately NOT often recognized as a musical 'hot-spot' (if it's recognized at all!) has been a good home to this unique and soulful group for 5 years now. Positive things are finally happening. Even in a small college town like Morgantown (WVU) lots of people are taking notice. Yes, the word is out: The Greens ROCK!!! This experienced professional band plays well over 100 shows every year all through Appalachia and beyond. At all KINDS of venues The Greens are steadily growing a solid reputation of GOOD MUSIC. Now The Greens need YOU, and YOU need The Greens!
Though the "power trio" IS Blues/rock-based, a wide spectrum of other influences is present, a well-balanced mix of funk, soul, jazz, alt/country, old-time, world-beat, anything, as long as it's REAL. The Greens (not just the "Blues") always strive for timeless music that audiences will enjoy. We write ORIGINAL songs that people can feel and relate to. So, a crop of devoted fans is sure to pop up wherever The Greens take the stage. This band is GUARANTEED to consistently deliver electrifying, satisfying performances. When The Greens turn on the energy, people just can't help getting up and dancing and drinking and having an overall fabulous time. For these "career opportunities" we are very grateful and can only hope to continue to please crowds in the future. We look forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you kindly...
The Greens!
